The Hops development
"Barley House' is part of The Hops development and has been finished to a luxurious standard. The building is on Westbury's historic Market Place and has an interesting history. Said to be on the site of an inn possibly from the 14th century, The Saint George and Dragon, the building was previously called the Lord Abingdon Arms. It was substantially rebuilt in 1810 and was renamed the Lopes Arms after Sir Manasseh Massey Lopes who bought the manor and borough, as commemorated by the blue plaque on the building, and was an important and central meeting place in the town. It later became the popular Westbury Hotel, an important central building and meeting place in the town, until in the 2000s when it reverted to The Lopes Arms again. It has now been converted into three separate properties, each retaining the charm and character of the Grade II listed building.
